Anti-Communists

Anti-Jihad Bloggers

Gates of Vienna
This blog, as far as I am concerned is about the only REAL Anti-Jihad Blog out there. I disagree with their position on Israel. But, they do still fight the fight and have not sold out, unlike some.

Centrists

Althouse
Ann Althouse is a lawyer from Madison Wisconsin – Like me, Ann was once a liberal Democrat. She switched like I did, long ago. She is not blind follower of either party. But, her politics has changed over the years. She makes for good reading

The Reaganite Republican
I happen to like this blog quite a bit. I have spoken with this blogger and I found to be a very nice man. He is overseas; but he does believe as the gipper did. For that he is included here.

Wake Up America
A Conservative, Alt-News Blog ran by Susan Duclos who also writes at Before It’s News — Susan is a bit into the conspiracy stuff, but she, like myself is a proud American. This is why she is included here

True Christian Sites

IconBusters
This is a website of a reformed Christian from California. Now, I get it, he is a Calvinist. But, he is very much into exposing the Papacy for what it truly is. For that he is included here.

Sen. Jim DeMint to resign and head Heritage Foundation

Something moderately surprising to wake up to:

South Carolina U.S. Senator Jim DeMint will replace Ed Feulner as president of the Heritage Foundation. Mr. DeMint will leave his post as South Carolina’s junior senator in early January to take control of the Washington think tank, which has an annual budget of about $80 million.

Sen. DeMint’s departure means that South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, a Republican, will name a successor, who will have to run in a special election in 2014. In that year, both Mr. DeMint’s replacement and Sen. Lindsey Graham will be running for reelection in South Carolina.

Mr. DeMint was reelected to a second term in 2010. The 61-year-old senator had announced earlier that he would not seek a third term.

The first person I thought about, was Amanda Carpenter. Amanda is the sweetest person in the Conservative Blogosphere; well she was, she decided to get away from blogging and work in the beltway. She is Jim DeMint’s speechwriter. Amanda took to twitter to say this:

Friends asking what my plans are, that’s a little premature. I’m going to explore my options and do what I love! That’s all for now. XO.

As for DeMint his leaving the Senate is a huge loss for the Conservative wing of the Republican Party. I do not doubt his story at all. But I can see why he would want to do it. Because it is obvious that the Republicans are going to concede this tax hike nonsense, so DeMint just decided, “You know what? Screw it. I am going to work in the activist arena.”

I cannot blame him, it would be a huge pay raise for the man and plus, he can actually make a difference there. Not much he can do in the Senate, when you have squishy Republicans running the show. Either way, I wish Senator DeMint the best and I also wish Amanda Carpenter the best as well.
